C-Source Renewables and the University of Edinburgh wanted to explore streamlining the biorefinery/bioprocessing route to develop a simple, one-pot bioprocess for the depolymerisation and biological conversion of bread waste into high-value compounds for use in the materials and pharmaceutical industries.

This collaboration enabled the successful tenfold scale-up of nucleotide purification for the University of St Andrews, demonstrating how IBioIC’s facilities and expertise can provide targeted scale-up services to academic partners bridging the gap between laboratory research and preparative bioprocessing.

Successful project to assess the feasibility of extracting platform chemicals from spent lees delivers a valuable new feedstock, a bespoke analytical tool, additional product streams and evidence to substantiate the company’s green credentials.

In this project funded by our Spin Out support programme, XGenix developed a high throughput assay to rapidly screen enzymes.

A new predictive model for more efficient production of proteins as pharmaceuticals, industrial biocatalysts or numerous other engineering biology applications.
